Officer Spilker said Huston and another man were seen putting the TV in the back of a white Dodge Pick-up by the victim. Hotel staff called police when they observed Huston return to the hotel and officers contacted him as he was attempting to leave.

The victim allowed officers to search the backpack and they located syringes and marijuana not belonging to the victim. Huston was taken into custody and officers located a glass pipe with residue and a key to a Dodge vehicle. The residue field tested positive for methamphetamine.
